The results of the 2022 Colorado primary aren't official yet. But the latest numbers from the Colorado Secretary of State's Office, updated at 2:08 a.m. today, June 29, indicate that in several major races, the Trumpiest Republican candidates finished behind rivals attempting to cut a more inclusive path.
Examples: Joe O'Dea bested Ron Hanks for the honor of taking on U.S. Senator Michael Bennet, incumbent U.S. Representative Doug Lamborn once again secured his party's nomination despite an attack from the right by Dave "Let's Go Brandon" Williams, Heidi Ganahl outdistanced Greg Lopez for the chance to run against Governor Jared Polis, and Mesa County clerk Tina Peters finished well behind former Jefferson County clerk Pam Anderson in the bid to unseat Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold.
Anderson is hardly a progressive — but at least she's never been indicted for attempts to prove that the 2020 election was stolen from The Donald, as Peters was.
A great many candidates on both sides of the ideological fence ran unopposed, and few challengers came close to ousting incumbents — although the fact that Don Coram snagged nearly 35 percent of the Republican vote against 3rd Congressional District Representative Lauren Boebert will no doubt give Democrats hope. As for the Dem who'll run against against Boebert, that's still unclear: Adam Frisch currently leads Soledad Sandoval Tafoya by just 2 percent at last count.
A few other contests are also too close to call — notably in District 6, where Democrats Katie March and Elisabeth Epps are separated by less than half a percent. For the most part, though, the lineup for the November election has been set.
Continue to see the most recent figures for every primary race in Colorado. Candidates whose names aren't followed by percentages ran uncontested.
